Wonder what is the common denominator between those cities ??

Except for Anchorage,they probably have a lot of Irish Americans.

Where is Chicago?

Finally, a list of bad stuff that doesn't mention Louisiana. We gotta win sometime.....

Wow, look at all of them from Oregon.

Ran by lieberals.

Some things go without saying.

we got 2 from TN !
and we're (Memphis) working on claiming #1 !

New Orleans is ranked #24.
don't lose hope !

Not one city from the PNW

I'd hazard a guess that it's TOO MANY PEOPLE living in close proximity.

More cows/deer/waterfowl etc here and we don't have that high of a crime rate.

Geno

Don't be jealous.....

Not one city from Western Colorado

LMFAO

And Washington!!! Haha

That's because the men there won't pull out of each other's asses for long enough to hurt someone.

With the exception of driving through Philly a time or two, I've never been to any of those cities. And don't plan to!

Stockton doesn't fit in either.

I tried to find some recent info on that. The best I came up with is 1096 per 100k. I don't know if that's accurate or not. My personal opinion is that Chicago's criminals are professionals in the trade and they don't rate professionals with the amateurs in those other cities.
